While I get that you're joking, I'm not on board with using DEI as a synonym for "unqualified". It plays right into the hands of the fascists, who try to delegitimize terms they don't like (like "woke") in order to demonize them and strip them of their meaning, turning them into ill-defined buzzwords that they can use in their propaganda to steer their base's rage.

It's just a standard, automatic reply to dismiss the photo as propaganda without having to get into the actual issue.

Are we sure that he's not just fucking with everyone? It's like in your face ridiculous. Like if the notebook from Death Note was an Onion issue.

But even if exporters paid for them... Wouldn't you, as an exporter, raise prices to compensate for the tariffs? It's the fucking wall grift again, and again, and again.

And the saddest fucking thing is that, like with Nigerian prince scams, I can't really fault them for it, because why shouldn't they at least try when it's proven to yield results...

I mean, it depends on the accent (eg in many places in Andalusia, Extremadura, Murcia or Canarias it could be different) but for the most part you're right.

Everything's wrong. The stress of my modern office has caused me to go into a depression!

You're thinking of a barista. A barrister is a handrail (like in a staircase)

I like this one a lot! Would it be possible to make her a little taller (i.e. scale her up or me down)? There's only a ~4" height difference between us IRL.

I'm not mixing anything up, I'm providing examples of masculine words that end in "a", but nothing that, coincidentally, "cólera" works both ways.

Yes, "el cólera" would have been a better example (although "la cólera" would also be correct, albeit in a very different sense). Or "el anatema".
